Manufacturing Cold Mix Asphalt for Pothole Repair

At Wolf Paving, many different types of asphalt can be mixed and created for any type of paving project. In fact, Wolf Paving creates cold mix asphalt specifically designed for pothole repair. Take a look at our facts and video below that discuss the manufacturing process. 

What is Cold Mix Asphalt?

• Cold mix asphalt is made of a quarter-inch chip and proprietary oil, which keeps the asphalt soft and helps to repel water.
• Because of the specialty mix, this repair solution does not require any heating. 
• Additives in the oil keep the mix soft all year long to allow for pothole patching in all different types of weather.
• Cold mix asphalt stays soft in cold temperatures and repels water; it will drive water out of the pothole and adhere to the surface underneath.
• This mix will flex and move within a pothole, allowing it to stay in the pothole keeping it patched.

The manufacturing process to create our specialty mix is fairly simple, allowing it to be crafted at almost any temperature. Please take a look at our short video and some additional facts about our manufacturing process that may be of interest.

• We use a portable pug mill to start the manufacturing process.
• One size of stone is used in the mix and fed into the machinery at one end.
• The stone is weighed and runs up a conveyor to be mixed with the correct amount of oil.
• It then runs through the pug mill, which does all the mixing and it comes out as a coated cold stone mix.

Our team of asphalt pavement experts has a variety of custom mixes for your project needs. In fact, at Wolf Paving, we make another cold mix asphalt with sand, that is often used for driveway or parking lot pothole repairs because it is more workable in colder weather. Both of our cold mixes often many benefits over traditional hot mix asphalt for pothole repair.
